Behavior of solutions for a class of difference systems (Q1769564)

The authors consider the system of the difference equations \(x_{n+1}=\lambda x_{n}+f(y_{n})\), \(y_{n+1}=\lambda y_{n}+f(x_{n})\) where \(\lambda \in (0,1)\) and the signal function \(f(u)\) satisfies a piecewise constant McCulloch-Pitts nonlinearity. The system involves the discrete analogy of a two neuron network with piecewise constant arguments. The authors establish some sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of the two equilibrium points \((0,0)\) and \((\frac{1}{1-\lambda },\frac{1}{1-\lambda }).\) Moreover some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solution of minimal period two are given.
